This is a very tricky one. I think the saying "things aren't what they seem", applies to this one. I think we actually need the pain to feel alive, to make us feel something. Maybe not need, but I can't think of a substitute word - maybe create. Regardless, you get what I'm saying whether you agree or not. I seriously think humans create their own pain just as a motivator, to keep the personhood alive and to say, see I'm alive and it's like a motivation engine to keep going. Where's the motivation when everything's going well and nothing ever goes wrong. It like keeps us on our toes to not internally die and reveal the true nature of nothing. I want you to seriously consider this. Have you ever noticed how most of us will say we're suffering, we suffer, spirituality helps suffering or however we mention the word and whatever context, but very few ever say what they're suffering or what their suffering is about. Just the mere fact of admitting one suffers is enough for the motivation aspect. Think about this. Don't even respond. Just from now on notice how the word very rarely comes with it contents of the suffering, but only that I'm suffering or I don't want to suffer. Observe this from now on. And in case you say people don't want to air what they're suffering about, that's bullshit crap.

Sorry, can't comment on a forum to myself. BTW, that was sarcasm.

That's fine but most of my friends used to be platonic males. I was the "hung out with the boys" type girl. Not that I watched sports or competed or did manly stuff, but I am very down-to-earth and fit right in with them. I had gfs too, but they were mostly going out peers. The guys I hung out with and drank with and partied with - all platonic. Been that way from teenage years. Neighborhood buddies and just all around. I'm very cool like that. I actually prefer to hang with guys than girls normally. Girls are too uggh...gossipy and some get jealous of you around their man. I ain't got time for that. The few female friends I had, though, we were very close. Still are even though we don't see each other often.

Maybe he needs to start interacting with different women.

Oh my. Such sexist statements. Why do you talk to females on the forum then.

The poor blind. No attraction for them. They got left out. Such a limited response.

Nice, but still one step away from what is. Saying do nothing, is still saying do something - do nothing. Presence is all there is. Even if you're meditating away. Doesn't matter. He said "everything happened by itself", which I agree with, so there's no need for teachings of "do nothing". It's still a teaching for someone who isn't doing anything to begin with. Irony/paradox is, his message is also just happening and my saying there's no need for teachings saying do nothing is also what's appearing. Can't escape what is. All teachings are not really teachings, they are just what is. There's nothing to teach and no one to teach. If there's a teacher and a student, that's just what's appearing to happen. Doesn't mean one won't teach and one won't learn. I'm simply saying life is just happening by itself with no one teaching or learning but only in appearances. These statements doesn't even matter and they serve no purpose.

That there are no lessons to be learnt.

Well, I've heard fruits are best eaten alone, i know when I have a fruit salad in the morning for bfast, i feel good throughout the day and not bloated like some foods do. It's just i might get hungry soon thereafter, maybe a couple hrs. I love fruit, but I have to eat more than fruit. I just have to. Lol

I just checked her out. I see she's into the fruit diet also. Looks like a fun channel.

@M A J IDid you use to follow Dr, Sebi; just curious. I didn't, but I heard of him.

Yeah, I already know it's not.

Ok, thanks. Sometimes one can tell from the way one communicates. That's very hard to mask because it's an energetic pattern. Sometimes even before seeing the person's name, I can tell who wrote the comment - sometimes. Ishanga and Breakinthewall are very easy to spot. Candle doesn't communicate like the Buck Edward's i've become familiar with. If it's you, you deserve a medal for impersonation skills.

It's not that you don't exist. It's that what you think you are, is not what you are. The only reason you're looking for love is because you believe you're a separate entity/being. Now you go searching for the unconditional love that you already are. Limitless, infinite Absolute. Nothing is lost but only for the one that cannot see itself and identifies with what it sees. When and if you find the love in other people, that can also be painful. Conditioned love is painful. Nothing really wrong with that. It's love's expression. Now you know what love feels like when it has been conditioned. You know what you are by recognizing what you're not. You're not what you can perceive, so you're not that pain.

Hehe. Once a "member apolitical", always "an apolitical member". Lol Oh, that's Buck? Lol

I thought greens got their color from chlorophyll and chlorophyll is an essential part of the life sustaining process. Also, food is medicine, in my eyes and there's really no difference, in my opinion. They are still taken internally. Idk, seems way too complicated to me. I'm not going to stop eating vegetables and greens because they're ripped and they don't fall to the ground naturally. That's just me. I can relate to animals being tortured and still have that fear inside their bodies and we consume that fear and all that, but not about the veggies and greens. Even if you're correct, and I'm not saying you're not, I don't see it that big of a problem to stop eating them.

I'm aware of oxalates especially in raw spinach but I believe for just about every food, we can find something in them that's questionable e.g fruit/sugar(even though it's digested differently) nuts/pectins (I believe it's called), seeds/toxicities can be found in some, legumes and beans/peanuts and cashews and kidney beans are considered toxic to the body, peppers, potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes are called nightshades and can be very toxic to some and cause inflammation, I mean the list goes on . Not everyone reacts to foods the same way, and I believe it might be according to one's blood type and genetic make up. Just because one may react badly to one type of food doesn't mean we all do. Oxylates don't go too well with certain medications and I believe can be reduced by slightly cooking the food. Doesn't mean greens are bad. What about the cruciferous vegetables are they supposedly bad too.

Also, you don't have to put down others to make your claims. There's a difference when defending your claims directly and opposing a particular comment directly and just calling comments petty in general without itemizing it or being specific as to which one and why you say it's petty. It's all opinions here and nothing is set in stone and people are also free to do whatever they choose to their bodies. Suggestions are good, criticisms are also good but telling people their comments are petty and that you know it all seems a bit harsh and unnecessary.

I'm curious to know why you think fats(healthy fats, i.e.) and greens and vegetables aren't good to eat. First time even hearing this. Especially the greens and veggies. Fats and nuts are debatable but I've never heard of greens being unhealthy except for those on medication and can't eat kale or spinach etc.

What's funny is while reading your comment, I said to myself I wonder if this person is a "member apolitical", and sure enough. The patterns are real.

Lol

Who here has children? The whole forum replies in the negative, while the one person with kids feels left out.
